Have your pets been extra needy since Seasons?

Huh? Well, that's a bug I'm not experiencing for once... I mean, yes, my dogs want to be entertained 24/7, but they've always been like that, whereas I only ever notice my cats when they're in heat and screaming my ears off. But when a pet initiates an interaction, shouldn't telling your sim to do something else override any autonomous actions anyway?

I haven't had interactions going off the screen but my sims do want to pet the dog/cat a lot - only one interaction though so fairly easy to cancel but still somewhat annoying. They also keep telling me they're hungry when there are two full food bowls available to them! Some of them will only eat from them if my sims call them to eat.. which didn't happen before Seasons. I really hope this gets fixed soon as my sims love their pets but they are being extra needy at the moment!

Littlesam made already a bugfix for this one and freezing to death sims not played while jogging.
It's the best Option before it's real fixed.

I did a search at EA questions and answers. They're researching it. Here's links to see. Yay!

My cat got stuck on the kitchen counter tops so i wasnt abke to interact with him at all and he just mewoed at me for a couple sim hours so I had to restart my game (but I haven't had time to play since so not sure if it worked). Generally my game has been extra laggy recently since seasons. I hope things get fixes as generally it's been super fun playing :)

What a typo. :p

I've noticed this happening in my game too. It's kind of annoying, but most of the time I catch it and I'm able to get rid of it.

If you don't mind mods, LittleMsSam has a mod called "Obsessed Pet Pet Fix". Description is as follows, "Since the Seasons Patch Pets are initiating Petting of Sims which makes Sims obsessed with petting them over and over again. This hopefully stops them."

You'll find it at http://littlemssam.de/random-bug-fixes/ - it's one of her many small bug fixes she has put into one download. You just have to run this one tiny mod to fix the obsession with pets until EA fixes it. There's a bunch of small mods in this file. Just use the Pet Pet Fix if you want a relatively mod-free game. her work is top notch. Always updated. Always being fixed if something breaks. I don't know when she finds time to sleep!

I do sort of have this bug but it’s not as excessive as the examples posted here. The queued list never goes off the screen but every time my sim gets near one of their pets, they’ll want to pet them like 3 times. Or every time they finish an action they’ll want to pet their pet right after. It’s not so bad for me that I can’t play, but it is rather annoying. :/

Yes! Sooo much. I thought my sims were just too attentive to their pets. One of my households has 3 cats and it's a never ending nightmare!

I've noticed this too, even for pets who don't already have the affectionate/loyal trait. Getting frustrating, I tweeted Grant.
